Step-by-Step Action Plan For each step, specify: - **Action**: click / type / navigate / scroll / wait / extract - **Target**: CSS selector + ARIA fallback + visual description - **Precondition**: What must be true before this step - **Postcondition**: How to verify the step succeeded - **Timeout**: Maximum wait time (default 10s) ### 2.

Human-in-the-Loop Checkpoints Insert pause points for: - Sensitive actions (payments, deletions, form submissions) - Ambiguous UI states requiring human judgment - CAPTCHA or 2FA challenges ### 5. Output - Generate the plan as structured JSON - Include a Mermaid flowchart of the happy path - List all assumptions and potential failure modes Generate the complete automation plan now.
